  • Inspirational: Surat Journalist Naresh Variya sets fine example with daughter’s simple marriage

    Inspirational: Surat Journalist Naresh Variya sets fine example with daughter’s simple marriage

    Surat (Gujarat) [India], November 15: For any parent, a child’s wedding is one of life’s most significant events. However, in today’s times, weddings have too often become occasions of excess and social display, with families competing to make every moment extravagant and memorable. Many age-old customs have also placed heavy financial burdens on families, especially on the parents of daughters.

    Although many recognise the strain of such traditions, most continue to bow before them, often falling into debt to meet social expectations. Breaking away from this norm, Naresh Variya, editor of the Dhabkar daily newspaper in Surat, has set a great example by solemnising his daughter’s marriage without incurring debt and without adherence to regressive customs.

    In a remarkable gesture, during the wedding of his elder daughter, Vaidehi, his younger daughter, Ruchi, performed the Javtal ritual, traditionally reserved for male relatives, symbolising true gender equality.

    Customs such as mameru (maternal gifts), the giving of gold rings by paternal aunts, elaborate jewellery exchanges, and similar practices have become social norms. While they may have held meaning in their time, many now serve as unnecessary financial and social pressures. Despite advances in education and economic conditions, the Indian society still struggles to free itself from regressive notions, often succumbing to social fears about “what people will say”.

    Even as India advances in technology, such outdated customs endure. It is high time they were replaced by a spirit of equality and rationality, one that gives daughters the same rights and respect as sons.

    On November 5, Variya and his wife Leena solemnised the wedding of their elder daughter Vaidehi with Jainam Sankhala from Rajasthan. The ceremony was conducted with simplicity and in adherence to scriptures, but without the burden of show or ritual excess. There was no mameru ceremony, no gold ring custom by Aunts, and no lavish feast or debt. Invitations were also sent digitally, reflecting the times we live in.

    Only close family members and a few childhood friends were invited to the intimate ceremony. Before the wedding, Variya, who has been a journalist for over 30 years, hosted a small gathering to express gratitude and introduce his family to fellow journalists.

    A particularly inspiring moment came during the ritual of the seven vows. Traditionally, a male cousin performs the Javtal ceremony during the first step. However, in this case, the role was performed by Vaidehi’s younger sister Ruchi, affirming that daughters are no less than sons in any respect.

    Known for his progressive and rational outlook, Variya believes in equality across caste, religion, and gender. The marriage itself was interfaith. The word “Kanyadaan” was not used in the marriage. Naresh Variya says about this that the donation can be of land, jewelry, property, money or any other thing, but a daughter is a human being and should not be donated.

    Though dowry is legally banned in India, it continues to persist socially in subtle forms. The Variya and Sankhala families ensured that no dowry was either given or accepted, setting a shining example of social reform.

  • Pavasiya family’s unique initiative brings joy to orphaned children on Children’s Day

    Pavasiya family’s unique initiative brings joy to orphaned children on Children’s Day

    Games, dance, food, and gifts light up the smiles of 180 children

    Surat (Gujarat) [India], November 15: The legendary hotelier Umesh Pavasiya had once again invited Children’s Day with children who are orphans in the city as part of the tradition that has now become an annual obligation, and he organised a series of heart-warming events with the children.

    The humanitarian activity arranged under the theme of Share Happiness, Spread Love and ended in making the day memorable to 180 children of different orphanages in Surat.

    The celebrations were initiated in the afternoon at the Oran Restaurant and in the evening at Spice Villa and Pavilion Restaurant. The kids were dancing, playing games and participating in various interactive activities, which made the venues full of laughter and excitement. There was a specially created menu to be used during the event, and each child was provided with a gift and a memorable meal.

    When hotelier Umesh, who is also known as Pavasiya, spoke about the initiative, he said that this event is not just about a day but it is also about bringing happiness in the lives of these orphan children. It is very good that many visit orphanages and offer some help or even meals. Nevertheless, we have such a platform as a restaurant, so I am very happy to put it to social good. Being a company that is in a close bond with the community, we are proud of being the one to unite people and give back to society.

    This project demonstrates the feeling of responsibility and compassion of Pavasiya Hospitality, and we hope other people will also take up the initiative to help the poor children. A little gesture of kindness can transform a person, even change his life, he thought.

    The event was again an indication of the way the Pavasiya family gives back to society and makes them happy where it counts most.

    Oshea Herbals’ Founder & CEO, Mr. Jeetendra Kundlia, Felicitated at ABP Ananda GST Conclave 2025 in Kolkata

    New Delhi [India], November 15: Mr. Jeetendra Kundlia, Founder & CEO of OJB Herbals Pvt. Ltd., popularly known through its flagship brand Oshea Herbals, was felicitated at the prestigious ABP Ananda GST Conclave held on 31st October 2025 at Taj Vivanta, Kolkata. The event brought together some of India’s leading voices in finance, FMCG, trade, and entrepreneurship to decode the growing impact of GST reforms on various sectors.

    As an invited panelist at the conclave, Mr. Kundlia represented the beauty and personal care industry, sharing thoughtful perspectives on how the new revisions announced by the GST Council will influence the cosmetics segment, particularly pricing structures, consumer accessibility, raw material sourcing and tax transparency among others.

    During the discussion, he highlighted the importance of a more streamlined tax environment for emerging Indian brands and emphasized how clarity in GST policies can help scale manufacturing, improve compliance, and encourage innovation in the personal care space. He emphasised on the need for one tax slab for cosmetics. Mr. Kundlia explained it with an example that the slab rate of soap & shampoo remains 5% but other products stand at 18%. Now, this is a dilemma for manufacturers and brands as the slab rates differ as well based on the nomenclature and the category it’s classified into.

    Speaking on the felicitation, Mr. Jeetendra Kundlia said, “Being part of the ABP Ananda GST Conclave was both an honour and a responsibility. The cosmetics and personal care sector is evolving rapidly, and clear, progressive GST reforms play a crucial role in shaping how brands like ours innovate and grow. As a homegrown company from Kolkata, it feels deeply meaningful to contribute to conversations that influence businesses alongside everyday choices of consumers. I’ve also called for further simplification of GST slabs when it comes to cosmetics as that would further allow brands & manufacturers to pass on more benefits to consumers. The reforms have been welcoming in the way they’ve been implemented so far and I’m sure we’ll keep on moving in the right direction. I am grateful for this recognition from ABP Ananda and look forward to more platforms where industry, policy, and people come together to build an easier and more efficient ecosystem.”

    The panel discussion featuring Mr. Kundlia was aired on ABP Ananda on 8th November, 4:30 PM IST. Additionally, an exclusive interview will be published on ABP Digital, offering deeper insights into his views on GST developments and the future of the cosmetics industry in India.

    This recognition marks another step up in Oshea Herbals’ journey as a fast-growing Indian personal care brand that continues to build trust through quality, innovation, and responsible business practices.

  • Bengaluru Airport Takes a Historic Step in Inclusion with Mitti Café’s Third Outlet Run by Persons with Disabilities

    Bengaluru Airport Takes a Historic Step in Inclusion with Mitti Café’s Third Outlet Run by Persons with Disabilities

    Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], November 13: At Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru (BIAL), powerful transformation has been brewing – one cup of coffee at a time. With the launch of its third Mitti Café outlet, under the leadership of Mr. Hari Marar, Managing Director and CEO of BIAL, the Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru has become the only airport in the world to host the highest number of cafés managed by persons with disabilities.

    MITTI Café has been endorsed by National and Global leaders with the Honourable President of India, Honourable Prime Minister of India, Honourable Federal Chancellor of Germany, Honourable Chief Justice of India, Honourable Defence Minister of India etc.

    Supported under the CSR initiatives of Bajaj Finserv and Zscaler, MITTI Cafe reflects a profound shift in how public spaces are envisioned – not just as centres of travel and commerce, but as environments that welcome, employ, and empower.

    Launched in October 2025 at Terminal 2, this new café marks what many describe as a “historic flight toward inclusion.” For an airport globally acclaimed for its sustainability and design, this milestone stands out for being rooted not in infrastructure, but in empathy and equity.

    A Shared Journey of Trust and Inclusion

    When Bengaluru International Airport first partnered with Mitti Café, MITTI was a small, emerging non-profit with a bold dream – to create dignified livelihoods for adults with disabilities. That early belief has since evolved into one of India’s most visible and celebrated models of inclusion in the aviation sector.

    Mr. Hari Marar, Managing Director & CEO of BIAL, shared:

    “Airports are more than gateways to destinations – they are reflections of who we are as a society. Through our partnership with Mitti Café, we’ve demonstrated that inclusion is not an initiative, but a way of being. It’s been heartening to see this vision grow into something so tangible and inspiring.”

    Partnerships with Purpose

    The expansion of Mitti Café at Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru has been made possible through the steadfast and long-standing CSR support of Bajaj Finserv, whose multi-year collaboration has been instrumental in enabling MITTI’s training, skilling, and livelihood programs for persons with disabilities. This sustained partnership has not only provided financial support but also strategic guidance that has empowered Mitti Café to expand its impact nationwide.

    Mrs. Shefali Bajaj, Chairperson of the CSR Steering Committee at Bajaj Finserv, shared:

    “Inclusion must move from awareness to action. Our ongoing collaboration with Mitti Café is a small but steady step in that direction — creating livelihoods that are not defined by limitation, but by talent and opportunity. At Bajaj Finserv, we believe that true empowerment begins when dignity meets opportunity.”

    Zscaler, a valued CSR partner in this initiative, has joined hands with MITTI Café to further strengthen its footprint of inclusion.

    Mr. Sachin Jain, Vice President – Finance, Zscaler, added:

    “Empowerment and equity are central to our CSR ethos. Partnering with Mitti Café at Bengaluru Airport allows us to see inclusion not just as policy, but as lived experience — one that travellers encounter and carry forward.”

    More Than a Café

    Founded by Alina Alam, Mitti Café has grown from a modest setup in a tin shed to a nationwide movement for inclusion. Today, its network of cafés – run by individuals with physical, intellectual, and psychosocial disabilities – operates across India in spaces as diverse as Rashtrapati Bhavan, the Supreme Court of India, and multiple major airports.

    Mrs. Swati Keshan Dokania and Mrs. Ayesha Alam, Directors of Mitti Café, expressed their gratitude to the entire team at BIAL:

    “Bengaluru Airport, under Hari’s incredible leadership, believed in us when we were still small. This third café is not just a milestone for Mitti, but a reminder of what’s possible when institutions choose to lead with trust and compassion. We are deeply grateful to Bajaj Finserv, whose belief and multi-year partnership have been pivotal in enabling us to scale our impact, and to Zscaler, our newest partner, for joining this journey of inclusion with their strong commitment to equity.”

    Inclusion as Everyday Experience

    At Terminal 2, Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru, inclusion is not confined to a single initiative. From the Sunflower Lanyard Programme for hidden disabilities to sensory rooms designed for neurodivergent travellers, BIAL’s approach has been to weave accessibility and empathy into every traveller’s journey.

    The new Mitti Café seamlessly complements that ethos — offering travellers fresh meals and beverages while quietly transforming perceptions of disability and work.

    About Mitti Café

    Mitti Café is a non-profit organization that creates sustainable livelihood opportunities for adults with disabilities and individuals from economically vulnerable backgrounds. Through its inclusive cafés, skill-training programs, and advocacy initiatives, Mitti Café has enabled over 6,500 livelihoods and served more than 22 million meals across India.

    Its work has been recognised by the President of India, Forbes 30 Under 30, the United Nations, and NITI Aayog, among others.

  • Geetanjali Mehlwal: The Creative Powerhouse Behind SonyLIV’s Hit Series Chamak

    Geetanjali Mehlwal: The Creative Powerhouse Behind SonyLIV’s Hit Series Chamak

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 12: When Chamak dropped on SonyLIV, it didn’t just stream — it detonated. And at the center of that creative explosion stood Geetanjali Mehlwal, the writer–producer whose mix of intellect, intuition, and defiance turned a musical drama into one of India’s most audacious cultural conversations.

    From Law Books to Lyrical Mayhem

    Geetanjali Mehlwal’s career trajectory doesn’t read like a film-school fairytale — it reads like a legal thriller.
    A qualified entertainment lawyer, she spent years navigating contracts, copyrights, and creative chaos before deciding to tell the stories herself. That unusual mix — legal acumen fused with creative instinct — is exactly what gave Chamak its backbone.

    The series, produced for SonyLIV, plunges into the electric world of Punjab’s music scene — a universe pulsing with fame, rivalry, loyalty, and ambition. But what makes Chamak different from your average pop-culture drama is its narrative DNA: a raw, beating heart of identity, generational trauma, and artistic rebellion.

    As Writer–Producer and Writer for both seasons, Mehlwal didn’t just craft a script; she built a world. Every beat, every betrayal, every lyric — you can feel the author’s fingerprints.

    The “Chamak” Universe: Where Music Meets Morality

    At its core, Chamak is less about music and more about the human rhythm behind it — the politics, the fame, and the fight for voice in a world that commodifies art.
    The show follows a rising artist navigating the glitter and grime of Punjab’s pop scene, balancing authenticity with ambition.

    The writing — Mehlwal’s writing — makes sure it never falls into cliché. The characters breathe. The choices sting. The dialogue hits like verdicts — sharp, layered, final.

    Her legal background shows — every episode feels cross-examined, not just written.

    “It’s about power,” Mehlwal has said in interviews. “But not just external power — the power of truth, of identity, of finding your own rhythm when the world wants to control your beat.”

    That philosophy runs through the veins of Chamak, giving it a rare kind of integrity in a genre often ruled by glam and gloss.

    The Creative Engine: Mehlwal’s Dual Power

    Writers often fade behind the lens. Mehlwal doesn’t.
    She’s that rare hybrid — a writer, producer, and lawyer who understands both the art and the arithmetic of storytelling.

    As producer, she shapes the vision. As writer, she crafts the soul. As lawyer, she protects the integrity.
    Together, those roles make her less of a “crew member” and more of a creative architect.

    Her time on Disney+ Hotstar’s Criminal Justice — where she was part of the core writing team alongside Shridhar Raghavan — honed her sense for realism and tension. That experience helped her design Chamak with the same authenticity, but with rhythm instead of robes.

    It’s courtroom intensity meets cultural chaos.
    And it works.

    Building Beats, Not Just Scripts

    The success of Chamak lies in how Mehlwal understands sound as storytelling.
    She treats music not as background score but as dialogue — a living, breathing character that exposes emotion and history.

    In that sense, she doesn’t just write scenes. She composes narrative symphonies — layering politics, memory, and rhythm into something distinctly cinematic yet unapologetically real.

    Her scripts are known to move between intensity and intimacy with startling precision — one minute you’re inside a power tussle, the next you’re in a moment of pure, aching vulnerability.

    That duality — heart and hustle — defines her writing style.

    Geetanjali Mehlwal

    A Voice That Speaks for More Than Herself

    While Chamak is a story of artists and egos, it’s also an ode to identity — particularly how Indian creators wrestle with self-expression in a society obsessed with conformity.

    Mehlwal’s own life mirrors that tension.
    She juggles the creative chaos of production with the precision of legal counsel, the demands of storytelling with the discipline of law.

    “I’ve always lived between two worlds — the creative and the legal — and I find immense joy in building bridges between them,” she says. “Law taught me structure and empathy; writing gave me freedom and voice.”

    That’s more than a quote — it’s a manifesto.

    Beyond the Screen: The Planet Food

    For someone who spends her days dissecting scripts, Mehlwal’s “The Planet Food” blog is an unexpected detour — and yet, perfectly on-brand.

    It’s a culinary journal turned creative sanctuary, where she writes about food, memory, and identity with the same precision she brings to her screen work. It’s storytelling through flavor — thoughtful, personal, and deeply Indian.

    That creative restlessness — whether in law, cinema, or cuisine — makes her one of those rare polymaths who never repeats herself.

    What Chamak Really Means for Indian Streaming

    Chamak isn’t just a hit series — it’s a cultural benchmark for how Indian OTT can explore regional stories without falling into tokenism.

    It treats Punjabi music not as a stereotype, but as a socio-political ecosystem.
    It gives Indian youth a mirror, not a fantasy.
    It shows that authenticity can trend.

    And for that, much credit goes to Mehlwal’s fearless writing and decisive production vision — proof that substance can still win in an era obsessed with surface.

    The Verdict

    Whether she’s drafting a contract or a climax, Geetanjali Mehlwal works with surgical precision. Chamak is her courtroom — only this time, the audience delivers the verdict.

    And the verdict is unanimous: Guilty of brilliance.

  • Building NYC Behind the Scenes: Richard Sajiun’s Enduring Impact on Public Infrastructure

    Building NYC Behind the Scenes: Richard Sajiun’s Enduring Impact on Public Infrastructure

    New Delhi [India], November 11: Some firms seek the spotlight. Others operate in the shadows, laying cable after cable, connection after connection. In New York City, Sajiun Electric Inc. has powered vital public facilities for almost 60 years, systems that millions depend on but few ever see. From schools and hospitals to courthouses and correctional centres, the work of CEO & Master Electrician Richard Sajiun and his crew keeps critical operations running without interruption.

    From Family Shop to Government Specialist

    Manuel Sajiun, a master electrician, launched the company in 1965 as a modest family operation handling residential and small commercial jobs. Richard Sajiun, CEO & Master Electrician, Sajiun Electric Inc., New York, NY, grew up in the business, pitching in on weekends and during summer breaks. After graduating with an electrical engineering degree from SUNY and obtaining his master electrician license, he rejoined the firm in the late 1990s and steered it in a new direction.

    Richard shifted focus to public-sector contracts, leaving behind the crowded private market. The move raised eyebrows. Government projects require ironclad adherence to rules, exhaustive paperwork, and flawless performance. Errors can forfeit payments. Regulations on prevailing wages, minority- and women-owned business participation, and audits demand precision. For Richard, however, these hurdles became the company’s competitive edge.

    Mastering Mission-Critical Systems

    Sajiun Electric excels in upgrading and modernizing existing infrastructure rather than pursuing high-profile new construction. Hospitals demand constant power. Courthouses need tamper-proof electrical setups. Schools must stay safe and operational. In such settings, improvisation is not an option. As Richard puts it: “You can’t cut corners when you’re wiring a courthouse or installing backup power in a hospital.”

    The job calls for meticulous preparation, foresight, and absolute reliability. Payments can lag for months. Bonding and insurance obligations create cash-flow pressure. Still, Sajiun Electric succeeds by embedding compliance into every process. Projects are tracked rigorously. Finances are managed conservatively. Custom systems ensure every requirement is met. In a field rife with corner-cutting, Richard has delivered every contract without fail.

    The Realities of Public-Sector Work

    Electricians on government jobs confront distinct obstacles. Deteriorating wiring risks sudden outages. Severe weather can knock out essential services. Most tasks are scheduled off-hours to avoid disrupting students, patients, or security protocols. A single overlooked signature or permit can delay progress for weeks. Overlapping compliance layers require constant vigilance.

    Richard Sajiun, CEO & Master Electrician, Sajiun Electric Inc., New York, NY, sums it up: “There’s zero tolerance for mistakes in an operating room or a prison’s control system. You might spend days poring over a 300-page spec for a two-week installation. Public work compels you to slow down and get it right on the first try.”

    The trade-offs bring rewards. Multi-year contracts provide predictability. Union rules ensure steady hours and strong protections. Compensation exceeds private-sector norms, benefits are comprehensive, and the mission carries weight. Schools remain functional. Hospitals operate seamlessly. Justice facilities stay secure. The contribution is understated yet indispensable.

    Guidance for Aspiring Contractors

    Richard shares straightforward advice for those entering the public arena:

    • Bring in seasoned help from the start: consultants or bid estimators versed in government requirements.
    • Read every document in full; never skim bids or regulations.
    • Budget for payment delays of 60–90 days due to red tape.
    • Obtain bonding and insurance upfront—they’re non-negotiable for eligibility.
    • Treat prevailing-wage and diversity rules as mandatory.
    • Screen subcontractors thoroughly; one weak link can derail compliance and costs.

    Preparing for the Future

    Richard tracks emerging trends without overreacting. Electrification, EV infrastructure, and intelligent building systems will add layers of complexity, but fundamentals endure: honesty, rigor, and measured decision-making. “I don’t see robots wiring buildings anytime soon” he notes,“but software will make our back-end systems more efficient.” Sajiun Electric evolves only when technology and regulations align, keeping the firm resilient without jeopardizing the reliability it delivers today.

    A Legacy of Dependability

    Sajiun Electric Inc. represents understated excellence. The company skips marketing and awards. Yet every humming hospital backup generator, every steady school corridor light, every glitch-free courthouse circuit stands as proof of six decades of exacting craftsmanship. In an industry tempted by expediency, Richard Sajiun, CEO & Master Electrician, Sajiun Electric Inc., New York, NY, has forged an enterprise that values trustworthiness above visibility and duty above expansion.

    For nearly 60 years, Sajiun Electric has kept New York City’s public backbone energised. Its path forward is not dazzling; it is resolute, methodical, and vital, mirroring the infrastructure it sustains.
